No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - May

One out used up, came in a sub box. Neals Yard Hand Cream, 50ml wild rose. Good hand cream but not fussed on the Rose scent

I have been reading about undertone. I am super fair and in winter definitely  cool but now look more yellow toned than anemic blue.  I switched foundation  from a cool to neutral with out planning, open bottle  to hand and it seems better for summer at least. 
It's really difficult to get the colour and seasonal variation of undertone to Match. It is no wonder I have a few bottles on the go. It's going to be a pure mine field buying foundation  with no sampling  going forward.  

Used up one hand sanitizer and had another fall into road.

Painted my toes last night with Avon's Viva Pink, ready for sandal weather tomorrow hopefully.

Does anyone else think that all the NHS discounts and freebies are a smack in the face for all the other customers who have worked throughout this whole situation?  If you work in a food packing plant or a chicken processing plant or hacking up fat balls in the sewers, these jobs have carried on and on poor money generally and they are getting nothing.  It's all just an advertising gimmick.  Working for the NHS is a good job to have imo.

So here my palettes "on the go". I have some smaller ones. individual shadows, quads etc but I try to use these every now and then. I'm not great with eye makeup so it is proving to be difficult to be honest. I'm putting a bit more makeup on now in lockdown but it is only a day or two a week. My favourite is number 1. I love the colours and application. Any tips on eye make-up?
1-NYX Ultimate Palette
2-No7 Electric Nights. This was from their Christmas gift collection and i couldn't resist when I saw in sales in January.
3-Kiko
4-The Body Shop (colors are : 130 Atacama Desert, 105 Giza stone, 501 Tulum Turqouoise, 505 California Lapis)
5-Lancome Audacity in London. Bought when it was on  sale a while back.
6-Barry M - Fall in Love. Great colours on this one and good value for money. 
7-Revolution Sophx. This one makes my eyes itchy sometimes. I also dont think the finish is the best. It is you get what you pay product I think, it is cheap and has good selection of colours but that's all.
8-Loreal Color Riche Nude Rose. This is the oldest one I had among all of these, it isn't the best but I just didn't want to TA.

That's what I think exactly. I appreciate the work they do, but what about all others working in delivery, supermarkets etc., kept it going for all of us?

I had the Revolution Soph palette Valm, I threw it out last year as I’d hardly used it and found it was impossible to blend and the colours wore off to quickly during the day

I've found all the Revolution ones hard to blend. They swatch really nicely on your hand but don't work well at all on your actual eyelids; so frustrating!

That’s a shame. I haven’t tried Revolution make up, I don’t think but did have a MUS dupe of UD Naked which I used so much. The packaging broke though.
if anyone wants a palette recommendation I would suggest the Urban Decay Born to Run palette. So nice.
ive had a go at repressing an eyeshadow from my Too Faced Chocolate Gold Palette today. Seems to have gone well and hopefully I’ll be able to finish it soon.

I was mostly pointing out it was a nice shopping experience (hard to find currently) and that Superdrug have good offers which are available to everyone. If you think I came across as bragging, I apologise, it was not my intent but maybe talk to me directly/quote my post at least? 

I haven't even read your post, I was replying to dolly84 and my point still stands. I have raised it with some other companies too if that makes you feel better, but I cannot contact every single company. Noone suggested you should give it back or your job is easy. It is not a matter of deserving either. You can take the comments in any way you want but I don't think I need a lecture on what is going on currently. I'm fully aware of all of these and maybe you should contact your local MP instead of me.
